2/5: In Person Learning Today! Live Stream and/or Zoom Links Are On The Help Page -
You are encouraged to use my office hours (Zoom or in person) for help on the homework. However, you may not ask questions over homework on the day that the assignment is due.
Do NOT assume that any assignment beyond today's is correct! I often change them the day of class. When you see the word FINALIZED in the first line, I've reviewed the assignment, checked the links, and I'm reasonably confident that it will not change.
Help With HawkesLearning is Available Here

This is an exam, and you should not do anything that you would not do if you were taking the quiz in class in person. You may use the calculator I provide, paper, and a writing utensil. That's all! Make sure that your phones are securely stowed in a zippered compartment in your backpack or placed on the table at the front of the room.
You are not permitted to communicate with any human being by any means, including but not limited to, talking, phone conversations, text messages, email messages, hand signals, smoke signals, semaphore, Morse code, Horse code (used to communicate with equestrians), social media, antisocial media, or any other means that I've omitted. You are not permitted to use any internet resource whatsoever. You are not permitted to use your notes, your text, any text, HawkesLearning, YourMathLab, AnyoneElsesMathLab, Google, WolframAlpha, anything on our course website (except of course the link to the exam!), or any other internet resource that I've omitted. That certainly includes communicating with other class members during the exam!
